Subject: Application for Section 404 Reginal General Permit 50, and Section 401
Water Quality Certification for the Proposed Replacement of Bridge 26 on NC
106 over Middle Creek in Macon County, Division 14, TIP No. BR-0029, Debit
$570 from WBS 67029.1.1.

Dear Madam:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number 26 on NC
106 over Middle Creek with a new bridge directly north of the existing alignment. Traffic will utilize the
existing bridge during construction.

As a result of replacing the existing bridge, there will be 93 linear feet of permanent stream bank
stabilization, and <0.01 acre (21 linear feet) of temporary stream bank stabilization impacts.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), which includes the following
attachments: Stormwater Management Plan, Permit Drawings, CE Checklist, USFWS Concurrence Letter,
Historic Archaeological Letter, Historic Architecture Letter, Tribal Coordination/Response Letters. The
CE Checklist was completed in July 2019 and distributed shortly thereafter.

This project calls for a letting date of March 15, 2022, and a review date of January 25, 2022.

A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT Website at:
http://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Bill Barrett at [e-mail] or [phone].

Sincerely,

Philip S. Harris III, P.E., C.P.M.
